New Images Released In Hunt For Sex Attacker In Leeds

    Detectives investigating a series of sexual assaults on women in Leeds have released new CCTV images and an e-fit of the suspect they want to identify.

    The four incidents occurred in the Harehills and Burmantofts areas on Monday, September 5, and Tuesday September 6.

    A 48-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in Nippet Lane, Burmantofts, at about 11.50am on the Monday by the suspect who rode off on a BMX bike towards Torre Road. 

    Three further incidents happened on the Tuesday between 6am and 6.20am. The suspect sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman in Nowell Walk, a 36-year-old woman in Nowell Parade at the junction with Nowell Street, and another woman in Harehills Lane. 

    He was described as a dark-skinned black male, possibly East African, with curly hair that was couple of inches long.

    He was wearing a grey hooded top with dark-coloured patches, grey trousers and black trainers with pink on them. 

    Detective Inspector Phil Jackson, of Leeds District CID, said: "We are continuing to carry out extensive enquiries to trace this man. One of the victims has assisted in producing an e-fit image of the suspect and checks on CCTV have given us further images of him in Harehills Lane. 

    "His clothing is quite distinctive and we are hoping that someone will recognise him from these new images."
